New Royal gramma

[gareth.hubbarde]

My new royal gramma (added yesterday)is showing no interest on hiding in rocks or swimming between them for that matter. Seems happy to swim I'm the center of the tank. Was worried I might be adding another hiding creature but at the moment this awesome fish is normally in full view.

Mine likes to hide on and off. But, if anyone walks by the tank too quickly, she gone and hiding in the rocks in her spot.

If its not spooked, probably will be more visible. Any other fish in the tank?

I bought one yesterday and haven't seen him since the first 5 minutes in the tank.

I bought one and was in and out. However, as of now, I haven't seen my grammar for five days. Incredible how well they can hide.

Got a lawnmower blenny, goby and pistol shrimp, cleaner shrimp and fire shrimp.
So gramma is not on its own.
Quite nice seeing a bright fish out, don't see goby and pistol shrimp much. Lol.

Update on mine. After a day and a half of acclimation, he only comes out from his hiding place to eat. Looks like I got a hard core cave dweller.

Give it time mate, mine took a few weeks to settle in. He was pretty active around the tank after that. He would still hide if anyone banged on the glass etc though ( kids..! :headwally: )
